You are wrong

New Delhi (coordinates 28o'N 77oE) - elevation 216 m (709 ft)

is further away form the equator than

Chennai (coordinates 12oN 80oE) - elevation 6 m (20 ft)

However the dominant effect will be the elevation difference as with elevation the air gets cooler (which is why there is snow on the tops of mountains).
